how to change ball axis/controls based on directions?

hi, im working on racing game, but instead of cars/kart it's more like hamsterball race.
i've worked through the kart microgame template, create new scene where i can test it, and manage to get cinemachine work with directions with unefficient scripting and still on default control of 'roll a ball' control(absolute x,z axis). Thanks in advance!

heres a demo video

here's code for bottom :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class FollowSpere : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.    
8.     public Transform followSpehre;
9.     public float turnSmoothTime = 1.5f;
10.  
11.     float turnSmoothVelocity;
12.  
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.         FollowSpherePosition();
17.         Direction();
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.     public void Direction()
22.     {
23.        
24.         float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
25.         float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
26.         Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;
27.  
28.         if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f)
29.         {
30.  
31.             float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
32.             float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);
33.             transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);
34.  
35.         }
36.     }
37.  
38.     private void FollowSpherePosition()
39.     {
40.         transform.position = followSpehre.transform.position;
41.     }
42.  
43. }
44.  

And here's code for ball :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class BallController : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Rigidbody rb;
8.     public float moveSpeed = 10f;
9.  
10.     private float xInput;
11.     private float zInput;
12.    
13.     // Start is called before the first frame update
14.     void Awake()
15.     {
16.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
17.     }
18.  
19.     // Update is called once per frame
20.     void Update()
21.     {
22.         ProcessInputs();
23.  
24.  
25.  
26.     }
27.  
28.     private void FixedUpdate()
29.     {
30.         Move();
31.     }
32.  
33.     private void ProcessInputs()
34.     {
35.         xInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
36.         zInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
37.     }
38.  
39.     private void Move()
40.     {
41.         rb.AddForce(new Vector3(xInput, 0f, zInput) * moveSpeed);
42.     }
43.  
44. }
45.  

i know it's a long read, and the scripts are unefficient

cinemachine setup reference

 

You're welcome to look at the DemoCameraRotatedControls scene in my proximity buttons package.

The relevant script is here:

https://github.com/kurtdekker/proxi...edControls/RotatedControlsPlayerController.cs

Look around line 124 to line 130 for where the world inputs are rotated based on camera heading.

proximity_buttons is presently hosted at these locations:

https://bitbucket.org/kurtdekker/proximity_buttons

thanks for suggestion, i've looked into it

but is there's a way to compile it with rb.AddForce??

 

The same principle applies. You have X/Z (or X/Y) in world inputs, you want them in local. The multiply by camera heading does that. What you do with the inputs after that is up to you.
